Saudi Arabia condemns attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities

Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council issued a statement condemning US President Donald Trump’s remarks and declaring that surrender or accepting imposed peace is not an option.

"Trump and the dreamers of the camp supporting the false Zionist regime must know that the surrender of the great Iranian nation or acceptance of an imposed peace is a futile illusion and an unattainable fantasy."

The council reaffirmed the country’s resolve to defend its national and ideological principles under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

It criticized Trump’s call for an unconditional surrender as irrational and dismissive of Iran’s strength.

Iranian state broadcaster reported on Friday that authorities have arrested a suspected Mossad agent who allegedly sent information about Iran’s air defense installations to Israel using the WhatsApp messaging app.

The Israeli military said on Friday that more than 25 Israeli Air Force jets struck and destroyed over 35 missile storage and launch infrastructure sites in the Iranian regions of Tabriz and Kermanshah.

Iran will likely be a topic of discussion at next week's NATO summit, a German government spokesperson said during a news conference on Friday.

"We do not comment on allies' possible attack plans," the spokesperson said, referring to possible US military involvement in the Israel-Iran war.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would decide within two weeks whether his country would join Israeli strikes.
